The present article examines a new type of anthology, a collection of poems and / or essays one literatus received from his friends over his lifetime, that first appeared in the late Yuan (1206-1268). As anthology, it includes works from more than one author, but the organizing principle is not the author but the common recipient of the works. In contrast to the collected works of one single author, or the selected works of several authors, or the collection of "poem and response"(changhe 唱和) poems among a few authors, it represents a completely different idea of compilation. The present article first examines this new form of anthology in the context of anthologies from the Six Dynasties on, then explains its appearance in the special Yuan culture of the "poem scroll," and finally analyzes two extant anthologies of this new kind: Jinlan ji by Xu Dazuo (1333-1395) and Danyou ji by Shi Laifu (1319-1391). This article concludes that this new kind of anthology is a result of the development of literati social interaction in the Yuan, an ultimate expression of how literati formed their identity and image in "social writing." |
